The December 17, 1910 edition of the Winston-Salem Journal included: BAD AFFAIR AT PILOT MT./John H. Wall Stabbed by Brother-in-Law, 14 Years Old/WALL WILL LIKELY DIE/ Boy Said to Have Stabbed Wall While Latter Was Quarreling with Father-in-Law - What may eventually convert itself into a homicide was the stabbing of John H. Wall, a young white man of Pilot Mountain, by his brother in law, Herman Southern, yesterday morning. The occurrence grew out of a quarrel between Wall and his father in law, F. G. Southern, familiarly known as Gid Southern, who occupy the same house. Both were getting boisterous when Southern's son, a diminutive boy of 14 years, stepped between the two men, it is said, and stabbed Wall over the heart with a knife. Wall was attended by a physician at once and upon his report that it is likely Wall will die, both father and son were arrested and placed in the calaboose at Pilot Mountain. The December 20, 1910 edition of the Winston-Salem Journal included: SOUTHERN AND SON WAITING FOR TRIAL F. G. Southern and his son, Herman Southern, of Pilot Mountain, were given a preliminary hearing on the charge of murdering John Wall on Friday, and bound over to the Surry county superior court, and in default of bail committed to the Dobson jail. Gid Southern had an altercation with his son-in-law, John Wall, over some work that was being done to a tobacco basement, and a fight ensued, when Herman Southern, a small boy of 14 years of age, got between the two, it is said, drew his knife and stabbed his brother-in-law over the heart from which Wall died two hours later. It is further said that though the boy struck Wall, he had no knife, and it is said by some that the old man did the stabbing. Deceased was 40 years of age and Gid Southern, who is well known here, is a man of 60 years. Wall married Southern's daughter and the whole family lived in the same house.
